Remember Cory pissing and moaning about Microsoft trying to âbuy him offâ by sending him an evaluation laptop with Windows Vista on it years ago?
It says, âONE Step to Win: Submit your email address and click ENTER NOWâ, which is rather brazenly false as you apparently need to sign up for an account before you can submit your E-mail address. Hmm.
Itâs a whoooole new BoingBoing these days. We ainât got no problem with product placement round these parts now. Just as long as the brand name doesnât require any funny capitalization, then Cory will definitely have a problem with that.
Oh yeah, I remember when that was a thing. He kept it up for a while, I think.
Then either he forgot or couldnât be bothered anymore.
Ah well, I also stopped trying to meditate once a week, so we canât all keep our resolutions.
Funnily enough, he seems to still be doing it at least some of the time⌠See his post just last week about his wifeâs company, MakieLab:
Is the fact that the âVerify Your Emailâ button is disabled (making sign-up impossible) a cunning ploy so that they get to keep the Surface for themselves?
<button class="btn btn-success btn-lg btn-block" disabled="true">VERIFY YOUR EMAIL</button>I was interested until I read the âshare for more entriesâ, then I stopped caring. No thanks, not going to do advertising for someone else.
The Verify button appears to work for me.
Works in the sense that it does something when clickedâchanging the text for a split second before changing back. Unfortunately, what it does not do is send a confirmation email.
This is both in IE and Firefox.
Maybe he got outvoted? At any rate, I hope everyone else takes the high road and doesnât enter. It will greatly increase my odds.
What bugs me is it doesnât actually show tweets/following as more entries. Then again eh, never win these things. Except for the time I got in googleâs pilot program.
